Old Mans Blues

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Hi Guys, heres a piece I did as part of a Blues Fest not sure if it's the blues but hope you like.................Willie

I was down and I was broken
I was shattered and twisted by the news.
I still hear those words unspoken,
You got an old mans blues.

Went to the doctor just this morning
And there were tears in eyes of blue,
He said sorry man I gotta tell ya,
You got an old mans blues.

Chorus
What should I say, what should I feel?
I'm well and I'm not feeling ill.
My time has come but I'm not ready.

Didn't Know just who to tell
'cos I was still walking in my shoes,
And if you saw me you wouldn't know it,
But I got an old mans blues.

Inst, Chorus, !st verse

Oh man, this is wicked!! Just love the up front distorted vocals and the pre-delay, the solo, the lazy, lazy attitude, the lyrics....oh man!!!

So your moonlighting the virtual fest circuit...if this weren't so very good brother, I might feel cheated on but as it is so very awesome I am cool with an open relationship!
Rock On!

Hi and thank you guys. SE, you are very perceptive but this is only a song although I had been to the doctors that day which gave me the idea. Oh and I am pretty old ..............Willie

Hey Willie you did real good for an old man with the blues, lol. The guitar solo is the shining star here for me...plus the outro acapella vocals makes a great ending. Nice work!

Not what I was expecting!

I like the unconventional arrangement and the vocal effects very much. The lyrics and the overall atmosphere of the song brought to mind the vintage ennui of Lee Hazlewood, and that's not at all a bad thing in my book.

Yeah Man
You're really laid way back with this one.

Nice over all soundscape and cool vocals.
